Hi. Me and my wife are in a same-sex marriage and she is sponsoring me for permanent residency in Canada. When I went to apply for PCC through BSL, the guy at the counter told me that the police officer that will go to verify my address might talk to my parents about my spousal sponsorship. They do not know that we are married. I don't wanna risk doing this. Is there any other way to get PCC or can I write an explanation letter? Or I have to have a PCC to apply? I am very worried. Please suggest.
PCC from India for Spousal sponsorship (same-sex couple)

When you apply for PCC online, the question that you need to answer is “for what” and the option you can choose is “PR”. I am not aware of any place in the PCC application where you need to mention that it is a spousal sponsorship application.
And yes, PCC is a must.
Thank you for your response.
In the checklist, they ask you to bring sponsor's documents. Also, in one form they ask your marital status and in the other form, they ask you to enter your spouse's name. All these details go to the High Court of India and the police officer that will go to my house will have all these details and might ask my parents question about it.

Yes, if you are showing yourself as married in the PCC application, then you have to provide your spouse name in it.
Is your spouse name added in to your passport? If not, then please verify with the concerned dept. because I believe you can continue by declaring yourself as single in the PCC application.

if you have not updated your spouse name in passport then you can apply your pcc as single. https://cgivancouver.gov.in/pages.php?id=45
You can check on this link , they have clearly stated that you have to use all the details according to current passport.
Hey. I am also Indian and in a same sex relationship. I got my pcc from bls as well and my family wasn’t involved in the process.

I don't think Canada would expect you to expose yourself to risk by declaring yourself in a same-sex relationship in a country that's hostile to same-sex relationships. But do consult an attorney about it.
Yes, I got my PCC without the cop asking my parents about the application process. Thank you for your response.
They don't specifically ask for wedding pictures, you just have to provide 20 pictures that prove your relationship is genuine. Since we are married, we made sure to include our wedding pics to make our case strong.
I was thinking about the same thing and consulted an immigration consultant who had contacts in BSL. They confirmed that cops who go to your address have no information about the process you are applying with. You are good as long as you don't have your spouse's name on your passport.
Thank you for your response.
Yes, you would need to provide the marriage documents and yes, you should declare that your married.
Hi, I'm in somewhat of a similar situation, can you please let me know if you showed your status as single or married in PCC application?
